The Copilot Inspector is a debugging aid, accessible from a copilotkit button overlaid on your app, which allows you to see the information, state and conversation between them and you (the user).

  license key on [Copilot Cloud](https://cloud.copilotkit.ai) or read more about{" "}

## How to open

A draggable circular trigger is rendered in-app. Click to open the Inspector.
